"We spent a few days in his backyard on the Puget Sound were I actually grew up not too far away. It really is a magical place, but when you get to spend it with a guy like Josh, who grew up and there and knows every inch of the zones, that’s really special. I’m looking forward to taking my kids up next fall. Not sure we will get to see those coho, but sure hope we do. Please take a look a Josh’s new gig at Spawn Fly Fish. They just moved, bought a building and opened a great retail space in Ilwaco, which is located about 2 hours southwest of his home town of Olympia, Washington. You can’t beat his customer service and his knowledge of the salt. Josh has already got an epic selection of fly tying materials as well. Please help support them at Spawn Fly Fish."

 
@Bruce Baker and @Salmo_g and I met Josh from Spawn Fly Fish a few years ago. At the time he was teaching kids how to tie flies at the time. Such a nice young man!

Nice YouTube!

I saw that last night and thought it was very well done. Never met Josh but sure love Spawn Fly Fish and hope to meet him some day!
 
As usual, Todd Moen puts out top notch stuff. Very cool!

I think Todd shoulda followed @DimeBrite to Gabon...
 
Two thumbs up for Spawn FlyFish. It's worth a stop into the shop he always has some obsolete inventory on discount and Josh knows his local waters.

This is not why I like their shop but there is a quirk in delivery to my home from Spawn and I get everything in one day! For some reason USPS and UPS skip one of the transfers when it comes from Ilawaco. Go figure.
 
Every order from Spawn I get a hand written note in the order packaging. Even when it just says "have fun and let us know if you have any questions" I appreciate the personal touch. It says a lot about how good a companies customer service is when every order comes with a hand written note. You're not treated like another profit transaction. You're treated like a customer that matters. Thats rare now days, and it's somethig that sets Spawn apart.

Good call. He got some amazing photos, would love to see some Moen quality video of that trip. So epic.

Or if he followed you around for a day or two of chasing musky. That'd be a fun watch. How do we get you and Todd in touch for some tiger time?

It would take more than a day or two. 😆. How many angles of big fly casting would it take to make it interesting. Plus, I'm not all that interesting myself unless you like a lot of cursing at the quarry.

If he had you for that one 6 fish day?!
 
The sled is what's missing from my program. Perfect South Sound attack vehicle....

Great video, as expected.
 
That was very informative - I didn't know anything about Josh's professional soccer career. Peach colored flies for the salt, huh? Thanks for sharing the video. (As usual, Todd Moen does a great job.)
 
If this video is inspiring for anyone to want to give it a try I would highly suggest reaching out to Nick Clayton here on the board for a top notch guided experience if that's something you are seeking. Hazards include good times, a crazy amount of action, great scenery, and a generally laid back fishing experience as there is little to no pressure or competition.
 
Great video!
Last spring I tied up a few peach colored flies to try for my summer/fall beach fishing. Didn't get around to fishing them. Wish I had...
 
Great video and Josh/Spawn Fly Fish is amazing.

I actually tied up a few peach flies last week based on one of his videos and did quite well. Granted, my tying skills are a work in progress, but they worked!
